Market Size Estimate (Excel)

About this task

This Series A mobile games company making multiplayer shooters (51–200 employees) is looking for a specialist Market Research Analyst for a single piece of work with a fixed scope and a fixed price. Top-down and bottom-up sizing with sources and assumptions.

The work is too small to justify a hire and too important to leave to chance. It is a games studio with release dates that move the whole calendar.

The work is fully remote. Any location in United States works, with a few hours of overlap with the team's day. You choose your hours; nothing is scheduled except an occasional short call.

What you deliver

• Estimate the TAM, SAM and SOM for a payroll tool in Germany and France with a clear source for each input.
• One round of edits after the company's review is included
• A 20-minute walkthrough call, or a recorded screen share if you prefer
• A final note stating what was checked and what was left out of scope

How the work runs

• Day 1: kickoff call and access to the files
• Days 2 to 8: the work, with questions answered the same day
• Last day: delivery and a short walkthrough

Duration: 1 to 2 weeks. Accepted after the walkthrough. Edits requested within three working days are part of the price.
